On my system the output files are in /var/spool/torque/spool and
are owned by the user. They move to /var/spool/torque/undelivered
only if undelivered. If you think about it, they need to be
owned by the user so that the user process can write to them. If
they were owned by root they would need to be writeable by
anyone - which I doubt you would want!
